Outstanding work will be awarded for each category, along with Best Director, Best Actor/Actress, Best Original Score, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Student Film and the NY PERSPECTIVES Award for best depiction of the New York multi-cultural experience.

Steffanie Finn, WFA Executive Director says “At Winter Film Awards, we believe everyone deserves a fair shot at getting their voices heard. Emerging filmmakers with low budgets and no connections are so often ignored in favor of the standard big budget generic action films – exciting low-budget films are created all over the world; we need the opportunity to actually see them! It’s so exciting for WFA to help get these stories seen and to provide our festival attendees the opportunity to view films they might never think to seek out otherwise.”
